I am not happy - by Lizzie

I am not happy...mommy is always laughing when Ellie or I do something silly. Like the other night...you see mommy likes to take bubble baths when she gets home. She says it relaxes her. Ellie and I like to play with the bubbles...I used to be afraid at first, but then I watched Ellie who isn't afraid of anything and she was having lots of fun. Sometimes she would fall in...silly girl. Well Monday night both Ellie and I were on the edge of the tub and mommy kept saying in Portuguese (we are bilingual you know) "tu vai cair" (you are going to fall). Well it's not the first time we walked around the tub...but wouldn't you know, I slipped and fell in. I was in shock...my bottom half was in the bubbly water. Mommy did try to help but putting her foot under my body, but I was in such shock I couldn't get out...so she finally lifted me out. When I came out, my tail was covered in bubbles...then it happened. The worst sound any self respecting feline dreads...that laugh. She laughed so hard she almost ran out of breath (serves her right)...I couldn't stand it any more and took off out of the bathroom. I didn't even come near her for at least half an hour....the indignity of laughing at me. Huff...see if she laughs again...at least I hope I don't fall in again that is.

Whatever!

Our sleeping arrangements

I was not a happy kitten last night...because of the colder days mommy puts her hands under the covers. That makes me very unhappy cause she can't pet me while I lie down beside her. I think mommy is being a tad selfish...I mean she does not need to sleep all night..she should be petting me. So just to show how ticked off I was, I went and slept in Lizzie's bed. She slept on the edge of mommy's bed and I slept in her bed...well if was only for a little while cause for part of the night Lizzie chased me (we jumped on mommy a couple of times...she wasn't too happy...heehee)....Lizzie even chased me up on top of the china cabinet but I showed her cause I'm really good at jumping (okay so I fell off the china cabinet yesterday and almost landed on mommy's head...and Lizzie wasn't even chasing me...). It was fun running around, moving all the little area rugs (drives mommy crazy). Well there wasn't much else to do since mommy took the magnets off the fridge and hide them (again)...so I had to find something else to drive her crazy.

Whatever...meow!

Ellie has something to say

Lizzie says that mommy leaves her in charge when she goes to work...well I just want to show you what she does when mommy is gone...yes she sleeps. She curls up with her teddy bear and sleeps.

I, on the other hand, am left to guard the home. Yes, me, Ellie, has to guard all manners of scary creatures from the home...magnets on the fridge...oh they may look harmless, but in truth they are not. They stick...the clog up the fridge door. They are a danger and must be caught. As for the toilet paper and paper towel...well they aren't even recycled..need I say more. Yes little me has to protect our home.

That's it for now!

Lizzie and Ellie taking over the blog

Hello all,
My name is Lizzie and my little sister's name is Ellie. Mommy said we could use her blog cause she doesn't have time to start a new one.

We received a rather distressing email from our cousins Jake and Jessie (they are dogs...poor things). They miss our mommy's blog entries. So she said we could write them insead...she might post now and then.

I am a three year old cat and Ellie is now 9 months. That's our picture (I'm brown and Ellie is grey and white) but mommy took that picture in the summer and Ellie is kind of bigger now. When mommy goes to work, I'm left in charge. That's cause Ellie is very silly. She just likes to play with her toys, look for pieces of paper (paper towel and toilet paper are the best she says) to shred and take the magnets from the fridge to play with (this drives mommy bonkers). We also like to jump high on the china cabinet, look out the window (see picture) and nap. Yes we definitely like to nap. Ellie also loves to eat. She always hogs up my treats. Mommy gives her a few and me a few...she comes and eats mine and then goes and eats her's. She's lucky I don't really care for them.

Anyways, now that most of you have fallen asleep bored to tears, I'll just sign off. You see us cats don't really care what you think. So there...

As mommy likes to say "Whatever"!

Licks and purrs,
Lizzie (oh alright you can sign it too Ellie).
